It's not ready to be rated, still quite a few bugs to be fixed and a lot of testing.

Its more of a fork of the original mod at this point, with a focus on mod support and not really for ranked matches.
some major changes:
- moved the individual exp explosion scripts into defaultunits.lua (any modded units that does not destructively hook into the unit OnKilled thread will have the custom explosions applied)
- explosions does damage scaled to its size and tech level
- air crash damage is calculated instead of predefined

When can we expect this to be uploaded either to the client or here? I'd like to try it.

Hi. Long time no see.

So, since I've had some more time these past few days, I decided to be a little productive on this project that has unfortunately been a little overlooked for the past... Wow, has it really been 6 years?

Yes, today marks 6 years after rks_explosions V1 was first released! Isn't it crazy how time flies?

Anyway, without further ado, let me announce that after these long years,
rks_explosions V10 is finally scheduled for release this week!

After I get some more testing done, it's good to go. There's been a lot of code refactoring, where major thanks goes to speed2 for his help, as I probably couldn't have done it without him. On the effects side of things, there has been a lot of polishing as well as adding new effects and features. The list is below:

Comparative FX changes to rks_explosions V9:
-New Cybran and Aeon nuke damage FX (as i felt they were really lacking compared to UEF and Seraphim)
-New damage state FX for ALL units (Land, Air, Sea, Structure... everything), to replace the generic base game ones
-Upgrades to textures (better resolution, transparency fixing...)
-New custom explosion for Scathis
-Improvements in Experimental explosion timing and scale
-Naval units now detect whether they are exploding below or above water, and play the corresponding correct effect
-Air unit fall-down effects improved
-And more tiny changes that you will have to see for yourself.

Thanks to speed2's refactoring, the mod should now also be future-proof for many patches to come.

Here are some screenshots of the damage FX. As for the rest of the new things, you'll have to see them in-game yourself.

Apologies for the low res screenshots, I'm working from a temporary PC and the resolution is quite bad. Higher quality screenshots and videos will come later.

Stay tuned!
